Zusammenfassung:This paper presents and compares observational data on copulatory and maternal-offspring behavior in Orconectes inermis inermis and O. pellucidus , two subterranean species, with published material on epigean species. At present, little information on the mating behavior and maternaloffspring behaviors is known for these troglobitic species (Hobbs, Hobbs & Daniel, 1977).
